For many double stranded (ds) DNA viruses the viral genome is actively packaged into the virus capsid by a powerful molecular motor. This results in an energetically unfavorable state of the packaged genome, creating tens of atmospheres internal pressure inside the virion. Using a new calorimetric assay to determine the activation energy barriers associated with genome loss in response to elevate
